it will work...all you need is one wire.....but it will lock out at 13.8 volts because it doesnt have the pcm outputs... Easier and smaller and will charge 14.5 volts is an alt from a 99 s10.

One of the 2 middle prongs is the exicter (12+) Some need a resistor in line on the exicter wire.
You will need a 470k-ohm restistor 1/2 watt (radio shack)
Most part stores can get you the plug for the alternator. ($30)
Fyi i did not need a restistor in mine.
Talked with Mike. He wasn't familiar with with bypassing the pcm, its something we haven't done at the shop. He did say there are older model alternators that look like the one for the 04 Suburban that he can install a regulator in that will convert the alternator to a 1 wire for 105 amps.t5montecarlo said:Ed, please follow up with Mike's response for my own information.
